Lonely Are The Brave (Barbara Boxer) by James Wolcott

LONELY ARE THE BRAVE
POSTED BY JAMES WOLCOTT

Why is Barbara Boxer out there all alone asking the tough questions about
Condi Rice's snail trail of deceit and fearmongering? She has the audacity to
act as if the Senate actually has some traditional advise-and-consent role
to play and for her pains is caricatured as a shrieking harridan on Saturday
Night Live and a witch on talk radio. Boxer was terrific today on CNN,
refusing to back down and reiterating her questions and objections regarding
Rice with emphatic clarity while Sen Lugar mumble-mumbled some pathetic
excuse-making about how Rice didn't deliberately mislead the country re
Iraq's WMDs, she just did the best she could under the circumstances. Look,
Biden and the rest of you Democratic punk-asses--get behind Boxer or get
lost. She shouldn't be up there on the parapet alone, not with this wrecking
crew trying to gear us up for war on Iran.

1. That was the title of a movie based on an Edward Abbey book

"The Brave Cowboy"...I recommend both.
"Attack Poodles" sounds like a good title, too.

2. I love that movie.

I didn't know it was from a book by Abbey, tho.

3. The book is an anti-militarist thesis

The protagonist's buddy is going to prison because he refuses to be drafted. I have read most of Edward Abbey's books, and that one I would recommend highly.

4. Keep

That Lady safe friends. The road to hell is pave with good intentions. Right now I thin she is walking through hell so she can clean up all the evils done. Keep that Lady safe.

5. Babs rocks. She's the best one out there currently.

Not that that's neccesarily saying all THAT much, but still. It's perfectly legal for me to send her a campaign donation even though I don't live in her state, isn't it? If so, I will. We need strong Dems like this if the party is to be taken seriously.
